And seems to be doing exceptionally well for you. Sweetheart, too. Both of mine were really calm and tame.
I would try to take the fecal to another vet. Its ridiculous that they won't tell you results without "examining" the snake. I spare no expense when it comes to my animals but I'm NOT a fan of taking a reptile, esp. snake, to a vet for a general exam. Not unless there is a problem that warrants it.
Way to much stress. Change of temps. Transport. To me that is not worth it just so a vet can look the snake over. Again, unless there is a problem.
It is true, a fecal needs to be fresh, and not ever frozen.
I would ask another vet to do the fecal and leave the snake at home and stress free.
Thanks! Yeah I’m with you on that, I’m contemplating an exam once she’s settled in and eating regularly but even then... I don’t know. There’s another vet I could try so I’ll probably call them after work today and check for the future!
